Hey everyone,

I am getting excited. Only a few weeks until I leave for Miami. And I will be flying to Indiana for some training about a week after I arrive. It is awesome that God has taken care of all the little details for my trip. It looks like I will not have to pay for any hotel while I am driving to Miami because I have places to stop and sleep. I will be leaving on Friday the 28th and will arrive on Monday the 31st. Please be praying for my safe trip. I won't have much time to rest because we get started on Tuesday and it looks like I will be working a lot of hours. I am flying to Indiana on the 7th or 8th (I am not sure yet).

I have just added a feature to this site that will allow you to post comments on each of my posts. This feature will allow me to communicate with all of you through the site while I am gone. When you post a comment it automatically sends me an e-mail. You could also just send me an email if you would like. My new email address is broken@gmail.com . I will have the address you can snail mail me at in a week or so. I cannot remember which address they asked me to use.

I also thought I would let you know where I stand on fundraising. As you know my fundraising goal is between $4000 and $4700. As of right now, a little more than 2 weeks before the trip, I have $1,465 in my fundraising account. Unfortunately this does not even cover all of my traveling expenses. I greatly appreciate all of the donations that have been made so far. There is no way I could do this work that God has called me to without you. I ask that if you know anyone else that would be willing to donate that you would ask them for me. Here is the donation information for those who are interested in making a donation:

All donations are tax deductible.
Checks should be made payable to "YFC/USA"
Please write "RD# 23825" in the memo line of the check so they know it is for my account.
Checks should be mailed to:
YFC/USA
P.O. Box 228822
Denver, Colorado 80222

I also ask for prayer. We have an awesome team of people coming together to change the lives of many youth this summer and the enemy is not happy about it. Please pray for me and the other two interns, Mary Ann from Ohio and Verity from New Zealand. Thank you all and God Bless!!
